Chapter 855: Army Soul Counterattack (3)

As one of the devil's tank vehicles was the first to penetrate and burst into flames, the dragon's tooth cavalry was greatly boosted, concentrating more dense and fierce firepower, and beckoned to the remaining devil tanks.

And the submachine gunners also fired at the devil infantry around the tanks with all their might, suppressing them, and providing their machine gunners with a chance to buy time.

Zhao Tiezhu slashed a devil soldier Cao with a knife, and when he saw this scene, he finally showed a long-lost smile, and roared and ordered the cavalry of several other companies and platoons: "The machine gunner immediately moves forward, give me concentrated firepower to knock out the devil's tank!" Then the whole battalion assaults and kills the enemy! ”

Soon, dozens of dragontooth cavalrymen equipped with MG34 general-purpose machine guns put away their sabers, re-picked up their general-purpose machine guns, and rode forward to join in the frantic strafing of the devil tank.

Dense bullets rained down on the other five Japanese tanks, and the armor of the devil tanks was thumping, sparks were flying everywhere, and some ricochets even hit the tanks around the tanks in a random flying fire, killing and wounding the devil infantry relying on the tanks.

Although the Devil's vehicle-mounted machine gunner also tried his best to fire back, the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the Little Devil could not be compared with the MG34 general-purpose machine gun equipped by the Dragon's Tooth Column in terms of rate of fire, fire continuity, and power.

The dragon tooth cavalry also had a large number of MP38 submachine guns to provide fire cover, so after a fire exchange, the heavy machine gunners of the devils were either killed, or they were suppressed by the dense rain of bullets and could not raise their heads, and they could not effectively shoot back.

Soon, three of the remaining five tanks of the devil were pierced by a dense rain of machine gun bullets, two caught fire and exploded, and one broke down on the spot because all the devil soldiers inside were killed by ricochet.

The remaining two Japanese tanks, because of the tragic situation of their companions, were so frightened that they reversed and retreated quickly.

Zhao Tiezhu snatched a war horse from the hands of a devil officer, turned over on the horse again, held a saber in one hand, and a Mauser pistol equipped with his waist in the other, and fired with a pistol while shouting angrily at the top of his throat: "Cavalry battalion, attack!! ”

As if summoned from the soul, hundreds of dragon-tooth cavalry neighed from their horses, carrying them into a stream to launch a final charge against the Japanese infantry.

Because their own tanks were destroyed and the remaining tanks retreated without permission, the morale of the devils was reduced to the extreme, and they saw that the cavalry charged them again.

They all began to turn around and flee, until their wing commander and the guards came up in person, and they were able to stop the rout of the devil infantry.

However, Zhao Tiezhu and his cavalry had already taken the opportunity to kill the Japanese army crowd at this time and rushed to a safe place.

After a cursory inspection of his own troops, Zhao Tiezhu found that in the bloody battle just now, his side had sacrificed more than 200 cavalry, and there were more than 700 people left.

However, their results were also brilliant, destroying four Japanese tanks, wounding and killing more than 800 Japanese soldiers, and killing one-third of the combat strength of this Japanese wing.

…………

And at this time, on the frontal battlefield east of the railway station.

Zheng Yunshan's guard regiment, Zhou Dasheng's second division, and tens of thousands of dragon tooth soldiers also exchanged fire with the more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who came back from both flanks.

As soon as they entered the firing range, the two sides opened fire one after another, and after the exchange of fire, the low combat power of these more than 10,000 people was immediately revealed.

How could they, who had been in battle for a long time and had no sharpness sharpened by daily life, be the opponent of the elite regular army of the Dragon's Tooth Column equipped with all German-style weapons?

In particular, there is also the guard regiment, the elite of this trump card. The astonishing number of automatic firearms, and the powerful power they exerted, directly stunned the devil head-on.

Under the dense rain of locusts, groups of devils fell down screaming in pieces, and the two Japanese troops were quickly defeated by the guard regiment and the second division.

Qiao Youhua and Liu Yidao led the First Division, and also defeated the newly joined devil reinforcements on the central battlefield, and were leading the troops to advance rapidly, chasing and killing the defeated Japanese army.

At this time, the battle report of the cavalry battalion was finally delivered to Qiao Youhua's ears: "Commander, an enemy reinforcement force was found south of the railway station, with a strength of 3,000 to 4,000 people, equipped with heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery, and the cavalry battalion is trying its best to delay time, please send reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

When Qiao Youhua heard this, he immediately turned his head to Li Yansan, the adjutant who was following him and was chasing and killing the Japanese army, and ordered: "Yansan, you go and inform Zhao Youde, and order the Third Division and the Third Infantry Regiment to immediately dispatch to rush to the aid of the cavalry battalion and kill this devil reinforcement force."

Tell the reinforcements to bring more artillery, because the devils have artillery and tanks and fighting vehicles. ”

"Yes!" Li Yansan immediately agreed, and happily turned around and walked quickly to receive the order.

On the side of the cavalry battalion, the two tanks of the devil and a large number of machine gunners, under the mobilization of the Japanese army, regrouped and formed a simple ring fortification on the spot.

Those two tanks were used as important supports for this improvised ring fortification.

The other devil artillery and other units also quickly recovered their composure from the panic and began to set up their artillery on the spot in a nervous and orderly manner, and build artillery positions.

I have to say that the devil's field ability is still very strong, and the reason why it was so unbearable just now was entirely because of the sudden attack by the cavalry.

Now that the cavalry had retreated, they quickly recovered from their panic and built field fortifications on the spot, ready to meet the cavalry attack again.

Zhao Tiezhu did intend to lead the cavalry to charge again, because they still had a lot of ammunition left, and there was no news from the frontal battlefield yet.

Therefore, he ordered the cavalry to take a short rest while checking the ammunition.

When he and his subordinates re-equipped their guns and replaced them with magazines, Zhao Tiezhu raised his sword again, and was about to order the troops to charge.

The sharp soldiers who were sent out to act as scouts galloped back on their horses, stopping Zhao Tiezhu and said: "Battalion commander, I'm afraid it's not suitable to charge again for the time being, because the devils have already prepared, and they have built field fortifications on the spot, and if we rush forward like this, we will definitely pay a huge price for casualties." ”

Zhao Tiezhu frowned when he heard this, and said, "Zhang Bing, you kid is not mistaken, right?" In such a short period of time, the devils built field fortifications? Zhao Tiezhu really couldn't believe it, because his cavalry had only passed a quarter of an hour since he broke away from the battle and rested in the middle.

And in such a short period of time, the devil who was defeated by his own side just now has built field fortifications, which is really unbelievable.

In fact, the so-called field fortifications of the devils rely on two tanks as the main battery and then use some craters, uneven soil slopes, etc., to form a simple circular fortification.

In addition to the necessary guards, most of the devil sappers and infantry are inside this circular fortification at the moment, nervously and orderly sapping sappers and shovels, using bayonets and daggers and other objects, digging earth and digging real trenches.

Because, they don't know if the enemy cavalry will suddenly kill again, just now it was really a careless loss, of course, it was also because the devil commander was bent on rushing to aid Taiyuan, so he would be so careless.
